Re: If all hole cards were dealt face up for all players to see?
The fish would believe themselves to be on equal footing with the pros and experts, so they would be willing to play just about every pot. For example, they might always see a flop because they'll know when they or their opponents hit big, and can fold cheaply, while never realizing all of those calls preflop are very, very expensive, longterm. Also, certain players who play heads-down, aggressive poker, even if they are winners, will find themselves in a hole very fast. Of course, if they know what their opponents have, then perhaps they wouldn't be so aggressive. It's overused, this particular "What if?" question, but still renders some excellent room for mathematical solving and critical thinking, if the person observing is open minded enough.
